GUICtrlCreateXXX creation in example assign to $idXXX to reflect Ctrl type

[KaFu]

Hiho,

again and again I stumble over this variable :). I often use the example 1 as a simple copy&paste starting point for testing.

Now the button control is labeled $idOK, which is also used in <MsgBoxConstants.au3> as a return value.

It's not a problem in local scope, but I often remove the function definition and then $idOK is suddenly in Global scope and collides with the messagebox const.

I would like to propose to rename the variable in the GUICreate() example into something like $c_Button_OK.

Best Regards

Hi all,
Kafu's idea is interesting (renaming this specific variable) but it should start with $id... to be consistent with most examples found in the help file. If you look at the example GUICtrlCreateButton, you'll find variable names like $idButton_Notepad or $idButton_Close

Maybe we could adapt this naming convention to the 1st example found in GUICreate, renaming this annoying $idOK to $idButton_OK ?

For me is not a bug,
The example is working without any Error

I change it to a "feature" request

In fact I will adapt all examples to have $idOK = $idBtn_OK as the created ctrl is a Button

For example $g_idX = GUICtrlCreateLabel("0", 10, 10, 50)
will be $g_idLbl_X = GUICtrlCreateLabel("0", 10, 10, 50)

to reflect the type of the ctrl created
